Liz said:
On the other hand, doing a 'risk assessment' and working out what can go wrong and what you should do if it does, means you can go ahead and do things without worrying because you have a plan. It's not about being able to prevent bad things from happening (though good planning can sometimes do this), it's about equipping people to deal with challenging situations when they do happen. Resourcefulness and resilience are the basis for the confidence required to face an uncertain future without fear and to appreciate the 'here and now' knowing that the future is unpredictable.
Unknown said:
Thinking about all the things that could go wrong doesnt make life any more predictable. You may feel safer when youre worrying, but its just an illusion. Focusing on worst-case scenarios wont keep bad things from happening. It will only keep you from enjoying the good things you have in the present. So if you want to stop worrying, start by tackling your need for certainty and immediate answers.

On vanity: I would say women who are conscious of their looks are far more prone to avoiding doing things that might affect their looks, you know all those girls and women who won't swim because it will mess up their hair?

Beauty is an experience, nothing else. It is not a fixed pattern or an arrangement of features. It is something felt, a glow or a communicated sense of fineness.
Ark Redwood said:
Autumn, a time for letting go. Once this realization takes hold in one's life, it feels more and more like a liberation, and we are free to enjoy each moment for what it is: fresh, and poignant with possibility. We can let go of the old, and face what comes with fervour and freedom, relishing the opportunities proffered in every instant of time. Cherishing fully each precious moment is to live life richly.

Catherine said:
I've come to believe that there exists in the universe something I call "The Physics of The Quest"- a force of nature governed by laws as real as the laws gravity or momentum. And the rule of Quest Physics maybe goes like this: "If you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting(which can be anything from your house to your bitter old resentments)and set out on a truth-seeking journey(either externally or
internally),and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you
meet along the way as a teacher, and if you are prepared - most of all -to face (and forgive) some very difficult realities about yourself....then truth will not be withheld from you."

When do you end a marriage?
You need to make sure you know what you want. (You need to be happy yourself and the other person has to be happy too.)
Remember there is no such thing as an ideal partner, and many couples who have been through a tough patch come through okay in the end.
Question? said:
How do you know when you should end a marriage? Should you always have to try so hard to convince yourself that you should stay...... Is this normal? Is it normal, in a marriages, to wonder how you ended up with this person and how on earth you are going make it through a life time with this person?

I keep coming back to the realisation that, this person is a wolf in sheeps clothing...... So moral and conscientious on the outside, with a halo that outshines the best of them. But, on the inside, they are more manipulative, caniving, selfish and vindictive than most. A real puppet master playing us all, to the best of their advantage! Everything is not as it seems......... Beware of the wolf in sheeps clothing.

Unrequited Love: The trouble with loving someone you're not with is that you build up a fantasy about them that they could never live up to.
Shy guy said:
Whether your heart hurts for unrequited love or for any other kind of break-up makes no difference, all the different losses of love can be just as painful.
AA said:
The love one person still has at the end of a love affair or friendship is not unrequited love, reciprocal love has ended and the pain is the pain of loss.
Todd said:
The cleverest people are usually the worst at love.
Anon said:
People who say that the pain of unrequited love is the ego having a hissy fit because it can't have what it wants, have obviously never expirienced unrequited love. I use to think the same way, before I expirienced it. I councelled a friend of mine, trying to be kind, understanding and open minded about it.......... boldly stating similar kinds of, in hindsight, judgmental insensitive bull shit that I really knew nothing about. So now that the shoe is on the other foot, I realise how wrong I was, how judgmental I was. How can someone say that the pain of unrequited love is the ego having a hissy fit or that there is a difference between true and unrequited love? What a insensitive and narrow minded thing to say. The only difference between the 2 is the resiprication of love, the love for one person is still the same. Oviously there is pain in the fact that the person does not feel the same way about you, but that is not the centre of the pain. The pain comes in loosing friendship that you valued, loosing a puzzle piece that made life tick with a contented cadence. Even before there was a realisation and decleration of unrequited love, this person was a part of your life. Now they are gone, and there is a huge, gaping hole, in your soul, where they use to be. It feels nothing like an ego having a hissy fit.

You thought you were whispering in my ear, but somehow you went straight through to my heart.
Alwyn(from Facebook) said:
Announcing I'm offended is basically telling the world you can't control your own emotions, so someone else should do it for you.
Truth seeker said:
We have to look at things from every possible perspective and ruthlessly examine the complex causes of our responses before we can begin to understand anything. It takes understanding to manage our emotions. Without understanding we are aimlessly swept along buffeted by the best and worst alike. Understanding gives us a chance of directing and using our emotions to live a richer life.
Anon said:
If you allow yourself to be offended you're expecting other people to be responsible with your emotions when you can't take control of them yourself.
Oscar Wilde said:
Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love: it is the faithless who know loves tragedies.
Anon again said:
Pain of unrequited love: Not to mention the agony of frustrated desire ...
Anon said:
The pain felt in unrequited love is the ego having a hissy fit because it can't have what it wants. The pain caused by true love, reciprocated love, comes from being betrayed, being misled, or through death.
Catherine said:
I would rather hate you and have you in my head, than love you and have you in my heart........ You see, the head never breaks into millions of little pieces. The head never leaves you in such excruciating pain, that you would rather be dead!

Journalists and lawyers are very similar, they both have to research facts in order to distort them.
In a manner that gains buy in from the masses...... 'Cell' more papers!
SB said:
Yes, of course you can love someone without them loving you in return. Remember, loving someone isn't necessarily about you, its about them. So you would want them to be happy, even if it were without you. I think that's the difference between love and "in love" or infatuation.

Another anon said:
There is one pain I often feel, which you will never know. It is caused by the absence of you.
Kat said:
People always cheat for a reason, there may be something wrong in the relationship that can not be resolved & so a partner seeks comfort in another, or a partner is not satisfied within the relationship and hence goes elsewhere for what they seek. This is not to say that cheating is not wrong but just to acknowledge that it is not always a selfish, cruel act, but sometimes a cry for help or a wake up call that a relationship needs an overhaul.
Kat said:
Unrequited love, I believe, is more about a person being in love with the 'idea' of another person, rather than actually being in love with the person themself.
Shy guy said:

Catherine said:

Mr Pudding said:
The tragedy is that something that would have been so much better if shared with someone special had to be done alone, this applies to the little things in life like sex, conversation and laughter just as much as it does to the really big things like apple pie and ice-cream.

Truth seeker said:
In reply to Rob: Unrequited love is ultimately a very lonely experience. The desire to give our love to the person we love is an integral part of loving. While we may be able to accept and be content in not having that love returned, it is very hard to be unable to give that love, or to have that love ignored or rejected, when we attempt to give it.
Bob Dylan said:
If today was not a crooked highway

Morals are a consequence of your values and as long as you maintain your values you can't go wrong.
anon said:
If all is fair in love and war, that leaves no place for morals.

The moral definition of love is putting someone else before yourself. Unrequited love, by definition, would have to be the truest form of love because it is love without gain.

Though, to be honest, I find feeling insignificant quite a relief - nothing depends on me!
Liz said:
Being invisible and being insignificant are are not related. Paris Hilton is one of the most insignificant people on the planet. Anyone whose sense of self worth is mainly dependent on being noticed will be very insecure and subject to unstable highs and lows directly linked to the amount of attention they are getting.

Not Shakespeare said:
Love is the most beautiful of dreams and the worst of nightmares.
Liz said:
Dealing with loss - of health, loved ones, valued support systems, and the many things that give our lives special meaning: There is a significant difference between knowing something and accepting it. Once you know something you can't choose to not know it, although you can deny that something is true. However, the fact that you do not deny the truth of something does not mean you actually accept that truth. Depending on the situation, accepting what you know can be very difficult and something that you have to constantly choose to do. Without actively maintaining that acceptance it is easy to slide back into knowing something without being able to come to terms with what it means. In order to cope with loss you have to come to terms with it.

Imagine knowing that the most romantic poem ever written, was written for you, and about you........... defiantly the way to get me in the sack, bumping ugly's all night long!!!!! Go romantic men........... may the romance never stop.......... I LOVE YOU!

Why do so many women think being romantic is a female trait? Look at the great Romantic poets,their male expressions of love still shape our ideas of romance.

Liz said:
A choice will be viewed as good or bad depending on your perspective. In making choices that will have far-reaching consequences directly affecting others we should be trying to make wise choices. Unfortunately it is only time that tells us if a choice was wise or not. However, if we are seeking to change our lives in pursuit of fulfilment and/or happiness, it is essential that we correctly identify the causes and sources of our unhappiness and discontent and are realistic about the solutions we are considering, dreams seldom become a reality. Happiness is a state of mind and our state of mind is directly affected by our attitude. A lasting state of happiness comes from an attitude of happiness. We can choose how we view the same thing and what we focus on, things that make us feel content, or those that make us feel discontent. The modern world fuels feelings of discontent because that motivates us to buy things that will make us feel better, we should be wary of being in the habit of being discontented and not correctly seeing the overall balance between what makes us contented and discontented with our lives.

Don't forget to love yourself, because it is the main source of happiness in life which you have been searching in your life.
Sometimes we are mislead by society, culture, or other influences that if we achieve something, we will be happy..... but how long does this happiness could last... when it is not the main happiness you achieve. In order to let the flames keep going, you need the source... if ya get my drift.

It might be misguided self interest to others, but to some it is the essence that is needed to keep living a life worth living. Isn't it you that made the statement: Happiness is not to be laughed at?
Choices in the Moral sense, the bigger scheme of things and in misguided self interest. People make choices that fall into of these categories everyday. Weather the choice is the right choice or wrong choice is the question. and who is to say that if a perceived "bad choice" was made and it actually turned out to be the right choice, was it a bad choice to begin with?
I think Eleanor was not talking in a general sense..... good, bad, right, wrong...... there is no black or white in this life.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's true place is only possible when you have a clear sense of purpose in life and fully understand what gives, or will give, your life meaning.

So, compromising ones happiness for the happiness of other people is good? I must be honest.......THAT IS NOT A BUMPER STICKER I SEE ON A REGULAR BASIS. At what point is it safe to do something for yourself? Elinor Roosevelt said, Do what you feel in your heart is right, for you will be criticized anyway. I like this statement.
Out back Jack said:
Everyone's choices have got them to where they are today. Some of us would not have the lives we have today, unless some choices, perceived negative and inconsiderate at the time, were made. So the "inconsiderate choice" of someone else has, inadvertently, brought us to our true place in this world. Sometimes it is inconsideration at the time but ends up being the best choice, in the end. It is also easy to compromise, when it is what you want. It is really, really difficult, staying in anything, when your only reason for being there is to ensure other peoples happiness.

Don't push to "be yourself" at the expense of others as to cause unnecessary anguish denies your own happiness.
Catherine said:
I am not talking about society, No one can change, or has the right to change, anyone and the way they think.
The only person we have full control over, and the right to change is ones self, and what directly influences our truth.
I might not like other people, there opinions, the way they think or the way they do things but they probably feel the same way about you and me, and if they agreed with your statement Freddy, you and I would be "pushing up daisies".
There are so so so many diverse people out there and there are so many different societies among society..... People fear what is different but different is not wrong, it is just different. We have no right to judge what is just different. To many, we are the different ones, the wrong ones who deserved to be judged...... to be murdered, as you put it.
often the realizations people have, on this journey through life, about themselves (not others) may mean making difficult decisions like: having a sex change, admitting to your family and friends that you are gay or bisexual, being from an incredibly conservative family but finding your soul mate in someone from a different race and culture, Being unhappily married and divorcing, moving countries, changing religions, denying your religion, doing something that is totally different to what your parents really wanted you to do, breaking off an engagement, calling off a wedding 1 week before you are suppose to walking down the isle, Standing up to and reporting an abusive (physically or sexually) parent, family member or friend.
Making, and following through, on these decisions must be so so so so incredibly difficult and I'm sure they are not made lightly or without deep deep thought and consideration. Often people just don't make those changes because of the fear of hurting the people they love, the fear of the ridicule that may follow, the fear of the long hard emotional process that is involve, the fear of all the unknown repercussions of following through on the decision.... and I don't judge those people either, I know those fears, and live in them daily.
That is why I say that those people, who come to those realizations and follow through on the changes that are required, are courageous and brave. It must take such guts, such strength (it would probably be easier to sit back and do nothing) to do something that is going to be so incredibly hard, that is going to cause so much pain to others and yourself, for such a long time, before the point of the change is seen, and knowing that some people will never accept it or forgive you But, in spite of all this, you decide to be true to yourself.... That is courageous and brave.
Yes, some people are flippant with peoples feelings, do things without thinking them through and have not a cooking clue about anything in this world..... I am just trying, really really hard not to be one of them.
Freddy Krueger said:
Well put Catherine! And if you're unhappy with society, for heaven's sake just go out and murder a few people, at least you'll be true to yourself, courageous and brave.
Catherine said:
Of course, that is a given Liz. But sometimes, through self discovery, one realizes things about themselves, that they didn't know, that they have to address, and that they have to accept because, to them, these thing are as vital as air, food and water to their being. These things are the difference between just existing and really being alive.
A deeply religious parent could disown their child, and truly believe with all their heart, that it was inconsiderate and wrong of them to be gay and live openly as a gay person...... but to the child it is a vital part of who they are, and will be forever.
Who do you think is wrong?
To the deeply religious people out there, the gay child would be completely and utterly wrong. No matter how you explain it, or justify it, to them it is simple wrong and inconsiderate ..... nothing else to it.
But to the child, to you and to me, and other like minded people. The child should be allowed to express his/her sexuality..... what ever it may be, openly and honestly. It is, after all, who the are and who would deny anyone being anything other than who and what they are.
Sometimes people arrive at a point in their lives where they realize that, in order to be the best them they can be, they have to make a change to their life. this change might involve some tough, tough decisions that will, unintentionally, hurt a lot of people and seem horribly inconsiderate by many. It is the fear of doing this that stops them from making those tough decisions and inhibits many from discovering their true joy, calling or purpose. They make peace with their existence and continue to merely exist.
The people, that have these realizations, and remain truly true to themselves, no matter how hard it gets and despite the unavoidable, unintentional hurt that it causes others and themselves are, I believe, truly courageous and brave. It may not be something you or I could do but what right do we have to judge someone for truly discovering who they are, for being true to themselves and inevitably, for finding their place in this world.
The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.
Being mean, horrible and shallow is wrong but being who you are, or finding your purpose in live is a fundamental right ....... and a thing many many many people are to scared to do.
Friedrich Nietzsche said:

My mother has always been an avid recycler, as was her mother before her. They both subscribed to the "waste not, want not" philosophy, born out of necessity I suspect. My biggest dilemma is what to do with all the stuff we accumulate along the way, sturdy yoghurt containers that would be really good for storing stuff. But I now have so many containers for storing stuff I now need a shed to store them. And chucking them into the recycling container doesn't have the same satisfaction as finding a use for them. But I guess it's best option we've got.

Back in the 17th century the French philosopher Rene Descartes said "I think therefore I am". Today's mantra could well be "I shop therefore I am".
Is this obsession just an expression of an in-built hunter gatherer instinct to seek and gather food and useful items. In the times of plenty you are programmed to gather as much as you can and store it for the lean times. Perhaps we have no in-built mechanism to stop us taking more than we need. We are limited only by our capacity to take the stuff to where we are going to store it (and the financial aspect too, which is another debate). In this day and age of the car, we have a vast capacity to cart stuff, so there is little to inhibit us on that front. Is consumer restraint a learned response?
Or is shopping, as the much-enjoyed and seriously considered activity it is for many, a result of relentless advertising that promises so much and delivers so little?
